Resumen

Este breve artículo presenta la opinión de que la teoría Lipman/Sharp del pensamiento crítico, creativo y solidario está prosperando, habiendo sido adaptada y desarrollada aún más en el contexto australiano debido a las innovaciones de Splitter, Cam y otros. Las aplicaciones e innovaciones continúan. La evidencia de la historia de P4C en Australia se detalla en Burgh & Thornton (2016) y Burgh & Thornton (2018). Este artículo proporciona un complemento a estos trabajos, destacando un estudio de caso de una iniciativa conjunta más reciente que sitúa esta teoría en el centro de la enseñanza, el aprendizaje y el bienestar de los estudiantes que imparten el plan de estudios australiano en Nueva Gales del Sur (NSW). A través de una asociación entre la Association for Philosophy in Schools NSW y el Center for Critical Thinking and Ethics de Newington College, aspiramos a establecer una escuela faro de mejores prácticas comunitarias que muestre un conjunto de prácticas que surgen y están directamente informadas por la tradición encabezada por por Lipman y Sharp.
